What ever happened to the party of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and Dwight D. Eisenhower? All three, but most especially Eisenhower, who expanded Social Security, helped create the Department of Health, Education & Welfare and authorized the biggest public works program in our history – the Interstate Highway System – would be rolling in their graves if they could see what’s happened to the GOP.

Oops...

One has to question the wisdom of constructing this peek-a-boo stairway in the very same building where judges sentence sex offenders. The word “entrapment” comes to mind.

Security guards have been told to keep an eye out for people craning their necks, but who’s going to keep an eye on the security guards?

The Beverly Hills mega-mansion built by the late TV producer, Aaron Spelling has finally sold…
